A powerful story of a teacher's importance in developing a warrior, Training Heroes sheds new light on Marcus's journey in Afghanistan. Hunter captures the intensity of one of his most dedicated students and shows readers how he realized his own calling to spend his life Training Heroes.

Book excerpt: Das Kototama-Prinzip wurde vor vielen Zeitaltern von unseren menschlichen Ahnen perfektioniert. Es ist das Prinzip des menschlichen Lebens in seiner Gesamtheit, das Prinzip, welches die Tätigkeit des Lebens des Universums bestimmt. Es ist das Gesetz der Funktion und Wirkung menschlicher Fähigkeit, ihrer Wandlung, Manifestation und Handlung. Es liegt im Bereich menschlichen Vermögens, Religion, Philosophie, Kunst, Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft, Politik etc. zu schaffen. Diese Manifestationen von Können und Handlungen, aus denen alle Zivilisationen in ihren unzähligen Aspekten entstehen, folgen dem Prinzip und Gesetz des Kototama. Dementsprechend ist es das grundlegende Gesetz oder der Spiegel letztgültiger Beurteilung. Wir Menschen müssen die Richtigkeit oder Falschheit, das Gute und Schlechte der Dinge beurteilen, die wir geschaffen haben. Ohne unsere Reinigung können wir kein abschließendes Urteil fällen. Vor etwa achttausend Jahren wurde das einzig wahre Prinzip für menschliche Wesen verborgen, und die Zivilisation entwickelte sich ohne Kenntnis desselben - bis heute. [...] Zur Rettung aller Menschen - um aus der von uns selbst geschaffenen, höllischen Welt der derzeitigen Zivilisation herauszukommen - müssen wir das Lebensprinzip zurückgewinnen und uns wieder unserer natürlichen, ursprünglichen Menschlichkeit zuwenden. Rettung kommt nicht von irgendwo anders. Wir müssen uns selbst retten, aber wir brauchen den Spiegel, mit dem das getan werden kann. [...]

Download or read book Gaijin Teacher Foreign Sensei written by Weeks Bill Weeks and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a California surfer turned teacher takes a second chance at marriage, he not only marries his bride's family but her nation, Japan. This story follows the trials and tribulations amid the culture shock of a middle-aged couple as well as the challenges facing a small foreign community working at an English immersion school in Numazu, Japan. After fifteen years of single life, former California surfer turned teacher, Will Mast, marries the coquettish Yumiko Hirota, an English teacher from Gotemba, Japan. Will takes a job at a prestigious English immersion school and quickly gets into trouble from his lack of knowledge of Japanese ways. Will commits one faux pas after another while eating at the family restaurant and attending a tea ceremony conducted by Yumiko's father, the tradition-loving, kendo-wielding master chef, Hirota Akihiro-san. At first seeming to be a simple tale of a cross-cultural marriage, one finds oneself immersed in the many layers of cultural interaction that America and Japan have faced, from Commodore Perry's Black Ships to the dropping of the bomb in Hiroshima. Weeks' first novel, Gaijin Teacher; Foreign Sensei, captures the courage, humor, embarrassments, idiosyncrasies, and tragedies of these special individuals as they interact with traditional Japanese culture.

It has a good (an at-the-core kind of good) message that should be understood no matter your age, ethnicity, or sex. —Bookworm Review Throughout life one is confronted with many questions for which there seem to be no answers. Or if there are answers, they may seem so far away from one’s abilities. They may seem to ask too much of us in time or money. They may lead to more questions: Where are you in life? Are you where you want to be? Are you who you want to be? These are some of the questions Dr. Robert Benson and other characters face in author John Teofilo Padilla Jr.’s book, Joe and Peace Eternal. Dr. Benson has one goal in life—to cure cancer. Many people would just give up, but he learns of a lifestyle and mind-set that keeps him going. His work brings many cures and accolades—and threats, danger, and death. Dr. Benson begets a son. Joe learns swordplay, and martial arts on his path to a climactic battle of good vs evil. Filled with likable characters—including Joe, who shares his father’s philosophy—Joe and Peace Eternal will have you thinking about your goals and beliefs. And about what is possible.
